JCB worker Nathan Marsden has spent the last four weeks decking the front of him home in Christmas decorations in memory of his nan.

The 24-year-old has strung up lights and installed giant blow-up Santas at his Fenton house for the last 13 years.

But he was determined to make this year’s decorations even bigger and better after losing his much-loved grandmother, Nellie Lawton, in February.

Now donations from those who come to admire his festive handiwork will be donation to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Nathan, of Stewart Street, said: “We decided to decorate the house to raise money and awareness of the condition. That is why it is a bit bigger this year. We want people to make donations to the charity.

“It has taken me three to four weeks to set it up because I work and have only been able to work on it at weekends. You just have to make sure everything is joined up and all the wires are connected up and tied up so nobody trips on them.

“The decorations have got bigger and better each year. We now have a blow moulded snowman which came from America and snow on the floor. The decorations have cost about £4,000 over the years. I plan to keep buying a little bit more each year.”

Mum Alison Brierley said the neighbours were delighted with the Christmas decorations.
